Rain Check

"Rain, rain, go away, come again another day..."

....or not, it would be great if you didn't come again please.

Cold I can deal with, heck even give me snow, but rain, no sir thank you kindly but I'm on a diet. It's just so.......wetting. I wouldn't mind it really apart from the fact that it creates wetness. When things are wet they look dull and dreary and this I do not like. Flooding too isn't exactly the greatest gift rain gives us as Dublin saw yesterday. In case you've been living under a rock of late, Dublin saw the heaviest torrential rain in years yesterday that caused widespread flooding and evacuation across the city; just in case Mondays weren't bad enough already. Me being the eejit I am was of course also wearing a maxi skirt yesterday that would have made junior cert science teachers quiver in excitement with the capilliary action that was going on as the wet spread from the hem of my skirt to about knee high throughout the course of the day. Getting around the city come 6pm was also nigh on impossible as public transport began to shut down due to submerged roads and Dundrum Shopping centre was left in 10inches of rainwater, indoors! 

Yeah the whole thing was pretty "Day After Tomorrow" alright but by lunchtime today the sun was shining and the streets had dried up and the flooding was merely a forgotten facebook group.

Keep on growling,
